The Celtics' 'real' season is about to begin. Here's why they have what it takes to repeat as NBA champions.
Briefly

The Boston Celtics are poised for a deep playoff run after finishing the regular season with a 59-21 record, securing the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Coach Joe Mazzulla has effectively managed player rest, allowing older players like Al Horford and Jrue Holiday to perform well late in the season. Despite a few players not reaching the 70-game mark, the team's depth has been evident, with consistent results even when missing key players. The unpredictability of the NBA playoffs keeps the team’s optimism measured as they prepare for their postseason journey.
"Our optimism for what is to come for the Celtics is tempered only by the knowledge that unexpected postseason plot twists are often just a turn of the page (or ankle) away."
"Coach Joe Mazzulla and his team have done an extraordinary job of handling their business during the regular season, with one exception they seem to be trying to correct now."
